How to prepare

Instructions

1

Preheat oven to 350F. Line a baking tray with parchment paper.

2

Combine all-purpose flour, almond flour, baking soda and salt in mixing bowl. Stir to mix.

3

Combine butter and sugar in medium sized mixing bowl. Using a hand blender or a spatula, beat until it is fluffy and lighter in colour, about 1 min.

4

Add the almond extract and 1 egg. Beat again for a few sec. until combined.

5

Add the dry flour mixture, half at a time, beating well to combine after each addition.

6

Scrape out the cookie dough from the blades of the hand mixer.

7

Gently knead and combine the dough in the bowl until it comes together, about 30 sec.

8

Divide the dough into 15 -16 equal pieces. With dampened or lightly greased hands, roll each piece into a smooth ball and place on parchment lined tray.

9

Press down gently on each dough ball to flatten it lightly

10

Beat remaining egg and brush lightly over the cookies.

11

Bake for 15 mins until cookies are slightly puffed up and golden yellow in colour

12

Remove from oven and gently press in a piece of KitKat Mini over top of each cookie. The warmth of the cookie will anchor the KitKat pieces into place.

13

Cool cookies for 10 mins in baking tray, then transfer to serving platter

14

Store extras in an airtight container for up to two weeks.
